Start selling your art confidently and consistently...
without spending thousands of dollars on "experts" or handing over control of your marketing and sales to a few galleries
The gallery model will never be the same. You, the artist, now need to be the one marketing your own work. But how do you know what to do now so you don't end up spinning your wheels, spending a ton of time and energy, and having nothing to show for it in the end?
I know it's not easy to sell your art these days.
Marketing and selling your work can feel overwhelming, confusing, and downright icky. You don't want to feel like you're pushing your work on people who aren't interested, you have no idea whether the work you're doing now is getting you anywhere at all, and you don't want to spend years trying figure out how to do this on your own and END UP UNSUCCESSFUL.
You can do it with support, good advice, and a community that understands you
That's exactly why I created the Art Marketing Project, where you will learn the fundamentals of marketing your art and you will receive ongoing support to help you make smart, strategic decisions going forward.
The Art Marketing Project is perfect for the artist who is more than ready to:
Sell more work and get back into the studio
Have the support of a marketing expert as well as a community of artists
Be confident with what you're doing to market and sell your art
Make informed, strategic decisions for your art business rather than simply following the crowd
Feel comfortable with promoting and selling your art—not feeling the slightest bit pushy
Stop struggling with where to start with trying to market your work
Have a clear direction for what to do now, next week, and next month to sell more work
Even feel excited (yes, it's possible) about marketing and selling your work
Even if...
just thinking about marketing makes you want to hide under the covers
you dislike marketing in general (and even in theory)
you're just starting out and don't know the first thing about marketing
you have trouble motivating yourself to do the marketing work you already have on your to-do list
you haven't made one sale yet (now is a perfect time)

Here's what other members have to say:
I feel confident with my marketing plan. I'm excited to see how things grow over the next year.
Before working with Cindy, I didn’t have an overall concept of how marketing should work and I Iacked structure. I now have a calendar based on needs and goals and I know exactly what needs to be done for marketing for the entire month.

Truly, this was the BEST INVESTMENT EVER. I’ve increased my website traffic almost 500%!
Before working with Cindy, I was experiencing complete confusion and anxiety regarding marketing. I had no idea where to even begin. This is a fantastic, comprehensive course that gives artists the solid groundwork we need to be successful.
I now know how to market my art, and I have a plan that I’m implementing. In the course I had guidance anytime I needed it, and access to other artists for support and different viewpoints. Cindy made marketing seem doable, not at all icky, and actually kind of fun.

I have grown my Instagram audience significantly, redesigned my website, and gained valuable communication tools for networking and making sales.
Cindy truly helped me to improve my overall marketing and relationships with my audience. The course leads you, step by step, to create a custom marketing plan for your artwork that works with your creative schedule. There are useful tips that will save you time, grow your audience, and increase sales. Artists are small business owners, and this course helps those businesses stay in business.

Straightforward and well worth it.
Before working with Cindy, I was struggling with where to even start trying to market my work. The first few lessons gave me information I would never have thought to look for, yet alone try to implement into marketing. Unless you already know marketing, you will learn things you would never think of on your own.

Cindy helped me develop a framework that feels authentic and gave me a plan of concrete, do-able steps.
As an artist, I didn't like the idea of "marketing" my work. But I love sharing my artwork and process with people.
Since joining, I’ve created a website where people can purchase my work, I was accepted into the Local Author Program at my local bookstore, I sold 10 copies to a friend's mother, and have sent a sample copy to another potential partner.

Hi, I'm Cindy.
I have committed most of my career to working in the visual arts and with artists. I have both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in marketing, have worked for 20+ years in marketing including art museums, art schools, art festivals, art districts, and performing arts organizations.
I teach in-person marketing courses and workshops for artists through Americans for the Arts as well as several local arts associations in and around my home state of Colorado.
My career in the arts had an unusual start: I was a single mom to a young, burgeoning artist whose kindergarten teacher suggested I enroll her in art classes. She started taking classes at our local art school and then I eventually became the school's marketing director.
My daughter is now in art school studying painting. As you can see, I have a vested interest in helping artists to be successful.
I hope you'll join me!
Here are answers to some common questions:
Is there any ongoing commitment?
The Art Marketing Project monthly membership is the least commitment. You will be set up with a monthly payment and can cancel it at any time.
Do I have access to past masterclasses and coaching calls?
Yes, you will have access to all past masterclasses and coaching calls. All member events are recorded and saved to the membership portal.
What do you teach in masterclasses?
Masterclasses are planned based on what I see being discussed in our member Facebook group. I also encourage members to submit topics. Upcoming masterclasses include: email marketing, Pinterest, pricing, licensing options for your art, and more.
Do I have to apply to join?
No, there is no application necessary. If you are an artist that wants to sell your work, you are welcome.
Is this right for me if I'm still figuring out my style or haven't sold any work?
Yes, this would be great for you. I teach the principles of marketing, which are valuable whether you are just starting out or a seasoned veteran.
When do you schedule masterclasses and coaching calls?
I schedule masterclasses during a time that works for my guest experts. Coaching calls are scheduled on different days of the week and at different times to accommodate multiple time zones.
What if this isn't for me?
On the monthly plan, you can cancel at any time. If you're not sure whether this will be a fit, you should choose that option.
Can you guarantee that I will sell more work?
No. I can teach you the fundamentals and the strategies to help you be successful, but you will have to do the work.
